Hi everyone,

Looking for people with first-hand experience using the Tronix Explorer XT with Elinchrom RX monoblocs. I'd be using it with either the RX600 or the RX1200 head, most of the time just the one head connected to the Tronix pack.

I'd like to know what the recycle times are, and whether your experiences have been good. I'd like to know these things before I part with my hard-earned cash for the Elinchrom Ranger!

What are the recycle times like? Ever use more than one head on the pack?

Rudi.. i've used the explorer with two EL500 classics.. got well over 200 full power shots with both flashes.. You got to let the unit breathe for a sec or so between firing though
